PITTSBURGH -- Evgeni Malkin finished a frantic Pittsburgh rally with 15.5 seconds left in overtime for his second goal. Malkin began the comeback, set off when he was checked by former teammate Mark Recchi into a corner early in the third, by scoring his first goal not long after that. He later set up Petr Sykora's tying goal with 3:29 remaining in regulation after Sykora assisted on Mark Eaton's goal. The Penguins, three points below the Eastern Conference's playoff cutoff coming in, were in danger of losing their fourth in a row until NHL points leader Malkin scored his 23rd and 24th goals. Tampa Bay led 3-0 in rookie goalie Mike McKenna's first career start before dropping its fourth in a row.

Pittsburgh, 5-11-1 in its previous 17 games, did nothing against McKenna in the first two periods as Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier each had a goal and an assist. Former Pittsburgh forward Ryan Malone also scored.
